Fred's big run

For the month of August l plan to run and walk over 200km to help raise money for The Fred Hollows Foundation. We must never take our eyesight for granted. Be grateful and thankful for what we can see. The Fred Hollows Foundation is helping restore someone's eye sight with our help. By donating as little as $25 can help bring back someone's vision to see again. This is why I'm taking this challenge seriously.

Something different today

today dropped sis off at her appointment and I found a old fire running track. so some running , walking reverse running and jogging.

Up and running!

so far so good with some good runs and a added air bike session as part of my strength training.

Day 1

**Day 1 of the Fred Hollows Fundraiser: Running, Shuffling, and a Dash of Awesomeness** Woke up feeling like a superhero! Heavy squats and deadlifts were my morning warm-up—because nothing says “I’m ready to run” like lifting weights that make you feel like you can take on anything! After that it was time for my run/walk for the fundraiser. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and I was ready to channel my inner gazelle...or maybe just a confused penguin. Popped in my headphones and—BAM!—two new donations rolled in! Huge shoutout to my fiancé Mike and my BFF Emily! Naturally, I felt it was only appropriate to jam out to Mike's Aftershock album while I exercised. Nothing screams “fitness” quite like shamelessly boosting your partner’s Spotify clout, right? As I warmed up, I heard “There is a light” and thought, “Perfect! This one’s for Emily!” Love you, Em! When you get a moment, put on your listening ears and enjoy the musical genius that is Mike. This song made me think of you xxx So off I went, running to the lake. I might have been shuffling and belting out “Don’t Want to Be Broken” at the top of my lungs, but hey, if people were giving me weird looks, I was too busy being fabulous to notice! And then, just my luck, I ran past the prison boys during their weekly gardening session. I decided to speed up—no way I was letting them see me panting like I had just run a marathon (which, let’s be honest, I definitely wasn’t). There’s something about a man in uniform that used to be my type... but we’ve moved on, right? 😝 stop it, Sarah! All in all, a fantastic first day! My coach just sent me a running program, so here’s to surviving Day 2! Who knows, maybe I’ll perfect my shuffle and serenade the entire neighborhood next time. https://open.spotify.com/album/4UYuxuRVLCuHqwgQ10iUc1?si=EkMDTh6uTwO1NiXWQVD4-A

We’re stepping up to restore sight!

We're taking on Fred’s Big Run this August to STEP UP TO RESTORE SIGHT! 

Our goal is to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue the legacy of an Australian legend, Fred Hollows. 

Because right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind don't need to be...

And an operation that costs as little as $25 can help restore sight to someone who is needlessly blind, and change their life forever!

Please make a donation and support our challenge to give the gift of sight.

Fred Hollows' dream was to live in a world where no one was needlessly blind, please sponsor our challenge and let's honour his memory together.

Thank you for your support.
